Food is my love language. The simple act of preparing food is cherished in my family; cooking for others is the most enduring way to show devotion. Today, whether I’m creating a chef-inspired dish or assembling a simple sandwich, I know that when I’m serving a meal, I’m really saying “I love you”.
With love on my mind: a recipe for Wild Mushroom Risotto, one of my go-to “Date Night In” meals. Risotto is easy to make but requires patience and persistence. There are no shortcuts, but with care and attention, it is always worth the effort.
Kind of like love, right?
Start with the right kitchen essentials. Kilne, worthy of professional chefs but made for home cooks, offers quality cookware (minus the markups). I’ve been using the 6-Piece Knife Set every single day since the company launched in 2020.
(Read my review here.)
Just a few reasons I’m a fan for life:
1. High Grade German Steel: Crafted from chromium steel to stay sharp for precision cutting.
2. Full Tang: Solid steel from tip to tail gives exceptional strength and perfect balance.
3. Ergonomic Design: Handle grip and bolster provide a secure hold, even with wet hands.
And now, the 6-Piece Knife Set is available in the most sought-after colour – Sugar! With sleek white handles on each blade and matching knife block, the 6-Piece Knife Set fits seamlessly into even the most aesthetic of kitchens. The set includes four different knives, kitchen shears, and a sharpening steel stored in an acacia knife block. One word: gorgeous.
When chopping, slicing and dicing is a breeze, cooking becomes a dream. But don’t take my word for it – Kilne offers a 60-day trial with free returns and a lifetime guarantee on their knives.

Complementing The Knife Set is the new Kilne Everything Pan, which features a unique, patented non-stick coating. Made in Italy, the pan contains non-toxic materials and is environmentally conscious. It’s perfect for risotto recipes where cheese and starchy rice can normally wreak havoc; with the Everything Pan, everything slides off with ease and cleaning is a breeze.
The Everything Pan is available in three colours: Meringue, Sage, and Peppercorn. Visit kilne.com to learn more and check out @kilnecookware on Instagram and TikTok.
Let’s cook with love: here’s what you’ll need to make my Wild Mushroom Risotto.
6 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 large shallots, finely diced
1-1/2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
In a medium stock pot, heat broth until it comes to a simmer. Reduce to low.
In an Everything Pan, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and stir until soft, about 2 minutes. Remove mushrooms from pan and set aside in a bowl.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the Everything Pan. Add shallots and cook until softened. Add rice; cook and stir until rice begins to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add wine and stir the mixture constantly until the liquid is fully absorbed.
Working in batches, add 1/2 cup broth to the rice, stirring constantly, until the broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender yet firm to the bite, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove Everything Pan from heat. Stir in mushrooms, butter and Parmesan cheese. Top with chopped parsley; serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
It’s the season of love! Show your affection with a thoughtfully-made meal from the heart. And from my kitchen to yours, kisses!
